President William Ruto has mounted a counterattack against the bullish opposition coalition that is determined to discredit his government by disavowing its legitimacy.
The president has been wooing lawmakers from the rival ODM and Jubilee political parties, who he hosts at State House before unveiling them in a photo-op that he relishes for showing off their newly struck camaraderie.
Political scientist Amukoa Anangwe reckons that Ruto is trying his best to cope with the unfolding political situation. "He knows the best way to pull the rug from under the feet of Raila and his team is to weaken him by taking away the foot soldiers," says Prof Anangwe.
